That's why I love Emacs: it can do anything

A few week backs Esme had decided that she really wanted to
learn Dutch. After some Googling she ended up on Laura speaks Dutch.
The author of the web site has, at the time of writing this blog
entry, fiftyfive podcasts online; mp3 files that one can
download, listen to, and learn Dutch.

Esme really enjoys the podcasts, and to help her I had
downloaded them all in one go from the audio folder of the
aforementioned web site using wget.

Today Esme complained that her mp3 player, a Zen Nano, jumped to
the wrong podcast. It turned out that an extra leading zero in
some filenames messed up the sorting order. Just when Esme had
connected her Zen to her Dell notebook, I told her to connect it
to my computer, running Linux, instead, so I could use Emacs to
rename the culprits the easy way using dired.

When done, I said: that's why I love Emacs so much: it can do
anything. Yes, I was exaggerating, but I do love Emacs.
